Citrusdal community bands together to get back on their feet after flood
Rain is still falling over Citrusdal where food has had to be flown in by helicopter to stranded inhabitants after the town’s entrance road was washed away, and now the remaining electricity line has also fallen victim to the flood. It is expected that the rain will ease off from Wednesday. In the port of Cape Town very high swells have meant that vessels couldn’t enter the harbour; there are currently three vessels waiting to come into port.
Repairs to the town bridge over the Olifants River which was washed away are underway, including correcting the course of the swollen river.
